# 10 Golfer "Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."
Caddy "Think you can keep your head down that long?"

# 9 Golfer "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course."
Caddy "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

# 8 Golfer "Do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now."

# 7 Golfer "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"
Caddy "Eventually."

# 6 Golfer "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world."
Caddy "I don't think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence."

# 5 Golfer "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a
distraction."
Caddy "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

# 4 Golfer "How do you like my game?"
Caddy "Very good sir, but personally, I prefer golf."

# 3 Golfer "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?"
Caddy "The way you play, sir, it's a sin on any day."

# 2 Golfer "This is the worst course I've ever played on."
Caddy "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago."

Shot a 47 on nine holes this morning. Fricken 8 on the par four #18 ruined a descent game otherwise.

The dreaded snow man.

Didn't have anything over six until that. Hit the water, then flubbed my approach. Had a pretty good score going until that damn hole. My brother made a funny comment at the end though - "In any other sport, I'd be winning."

Well, I got out for only the second time in about 6 months, which is about the biggest golf drought I have had in 5 years or so.

We played in a three man scramble. I drove great. we used my drive on 13 of 15 driving holes (it's a par 73 so only three par 3's on the course).

However, we all struggled with the short game, and only managed 5 under. With the luck of flighthing, we came in first in the 3rd flight and one $195, which pays for the tournament, cart rental, etc. and gives us about $4 back for each of us.

I am supposed to play tomorrow (no tourney, just playing), but I pulled my groin muscle on the driving range before teeing off yesterday. Something I had never done before playing golf or anything else, and was in severe pain all day. The fact I keep a couple muscle relaxants and Vicoden in my bag in case I throw my back out is the only way I made it through the tournament.

So, I'm bummed, but I don't know that I will be able to play tomorrow.

Those all fit me - #10 the best

No golf this w/e but floated n fished the Illinois - my guy caught the biggest small mouth he ever caught - had to be 5++ pounds - we didnt have camera

Got a couple rounds in over the weekend. Hacked around. First golf for me in a couple weeks. Shot a 90 and an 86.

I was getting off the tee great. Chipped pretty decent. But my approach shots and putting was awful. 36 holes and I had atleast a dozen 6-12 footers. Didn't drain a one of them. And I missed atleast a half dozen 4-6 footers.

On the back 9 of my second round I started coming around though. Was +6 on that 9 by way of three doubles. Two of which were on par 4's were I was 30 yards out laying 1.

Got my league match tonight. Then I have a couple rounds lined up this weekend while I'm at The Outer Banks.

Well guys, I'm officially playing bad in my golf league. Shot a 43 last night for the 4th straight Wednesday. I either fall apart the last 3 or 4 holes or my short game just sucks the entire round.

Last night I hit 6 out of 7 fairways. The only one I missed was #9 which slopes hard to the right. I was a foot into the rough. I hit 4 greens (which I'm only hitting 26% on the year) so that wasn't too bad. It's just the freakin' short game that's killing me. I had 3 different chips of 40 feet that I just chunked leaving myself about 15-25 footers for par. I'm just hitting an inch to a half inch behind the ball.

With my putting, I'm either reading the putt right and leaving it 4-10 feet short. Or I'm mis-reading it and shaving the cup. I can't seem to buy a putt.

Over the weekend I played two courses down at Nags Head. Shot an 84 and 81. Had a 4 hole stretch both days where I was +7 that turned those rounds from great ones to average/good ones. Those rounds were the complete opposite of my league rounds. I couldn't hit a fairway down there but my irons, chipping, and putting was pretty decent. Had 4 penalty strokes each round also.

I don't know. It'll come around I guess. It has to.

Oh, and I'm finally gonna get out to Independence (post #21). Was supposed to play a few weeks ago but it rained. It's one of the nicer public courses around Richmond.

I didn't get out this week. :tsK:

Was supposed to play in a tournament yesterday, but it all fell through for me...

I pulled a groin warming up for a scramlbe three weeks ago. I had never done it, and didn't want to abandon the team (not to mention I didn't have a way home), so I played through it. Pain on every swing, which was stupid. Three weeks later, I am still icing/heating it and gulping advil. Doc told me I need to rest it 6 weeks or it will just reinjure.

I read that earlier...that really sucks Tned. Looks like you'll be spending more time with us for a month and a half...
